Warning : Mature content! (17+)

At first, Lady Lexu compelled to undergo this punishment. However, when she found out that her husband had also participated in this punishment, she was relieved. The husband and wife cooperate in helping the operation of the orphanage. So far, what Dijun said was true. The concerns of the poor children's lives moved their hearts. Lexu and Yang Chuo were sometimes moved to see them. They don't expect luxury. They just need a loving helping hand.

Lady Lexu was in charge of cooking and storytelling. Yang Chuo was in charge of washing clothes. Some children who had started to grow up also help the caretakers of the orphanage. While the young ones still needed care.

Broadly speaking, their parents died due to war or Qin Que's natural conditions were far different from Fayin Valley. Some even had to be orphaned from infancy because of the mother who died in childbirth and the father who died due to Qin Que's natural conditions.

The condition of the Fayin Valley was already free from Miao Luo's poison. It's just that the air there was still not pure. Kunlun disciplines and knights from various lands were trying to fix this. At the same time built all the infrastructure that was destroyed by the great war.

Lady Lexu wiped her sweaty forehead. In her hands was the last plate she had washed. She looked around. The kitchen was getting quiet. It was late at night, apparently, she returned to concentrating on washing the dishes in her hands and then placing them in a pile of washed dishes.

She reached for the napkin, but someone's hand grabbed her, "Let me wipe it, you must rest." That person was apparently the husband. Lexu nodded, then exited the kitchen.

Lexu walked along the hall to her room. She could faintly hear the sound of crying. Lexu followed the crying sound.

The voice was coming from a room. She opened the door to the room. Some of the beds were already occupied, the children had apparently fallen asleep. So where did that sound come from?

Lexu was about to turn around when her eyes caught a little girl apparently huddled in a corner. She walked over to the girl. The little girl looked up when she sensed Lexu's presence. Lexu squatted in front of her. She stroked the girl's head as he asked, "Sweet princess, why are you crying at this time of night?'

"Lady," the girl sobbed again, "Am... Am I really that unlucky child?"

Lexu frowned in surprise. She finally sat down on her knees and offered a hug to the girl, "There is no such thing as bad luck in this world."

The little girl was already in her arms. Lexu stroked her head. "But... but why did my mother have to die while giving birth to me, and my father left me here to marry my stepmother?"

Lexu's heart sank at that words. "That's because you are more loved here, little princess." Lexu then looked around her, "Don't the older sister or brother here treat you well?"

The girl lifted her head to look at Lexu's face then nodded, "They are all kind. I.. I just miss father."

"I'm sure your father will miss you too.''

"But why did father have to leave me?"

"Your father probably thought you'd be better off being treated here."

"Is it because I'm sick that I'm troubling Father?"

Lexu hugged the girl tighter, "Listen to me, honey. Sometimes we have to part with people we love for our own good. Your father left you here, so that you get well. If you get well, you can go back to your father."

"Can I see my sister too?"

"Younger sister?" Lexu was surprised to hear that, didn't the little girl say that she had no mother since birth?
